ComradeNikolayev,

Ihave received your letter of 7/VII.

Iam very glad you have now started properly.

Iadvise you
(1) to demand more officially and more
insistently thatallsecrets shouldat oncebe revealed to you.

(2)Setup the installation, if possible, on special wooden
supports, so that it can be removed instantaneously from
the truck (perhaps better to use a flat-car instead of a truck)
and placed on a lorry,on to the ground, and so on (for the
inventor made a successful experiment, so he says,notin a truck).

(3)Ifyou find that “the game is worth the candle”, then
don’t be sparing with money and people forhasteningthe
work.

Greetings,Lenin
